"Woodsqueer" is sometimes used to describe the mindset of a person who has taken to the wild for an extended period of time. Gretchen Legler is no stranger to life away from the rapid-fire pace of the twenty-first century, which can often lead to a kind of stir-craziness. Woodsqueer chronicles her experiences intentionally focusing on not just making a living but making a life-in this case, an agrarian one more in tune with the earth on eighty acres...

Extrait: "Le versant septentrional des Pyrénées apparaît, à première vue, d'un dessin fort simple, partant noble. Ces montagnes élégantes et gracieuses, dressés comme un écran au fond des horizons méridionaux, n'offrent aucune trace, en France du moins, de la fantaisie fougueuse et massive qui caractérise les Alpes."

Plus d'un devoir, le vote est à la fois un droit et un acte citoyen.
